Cassienne had cut her cake and fed each of her friends. Her smile was bright and real, different from the tired one she wore earlier. Being with her friends brought her energy back. It felt like she could breathe again.

“How did you know I was here?” she finally asked, wiping cake crumbs from her fingers.

Merrick chuckled softly. He set his dessert fork down and leaned back comfortably in his chair. “We figured you’d be here since you’re no longer in the Tremont mansion,” he said honestly.

  • When Love Finds Its Way Back    Chapter Three Hundred Fifty: Tina Has Woken Up

    The atmosphere in Dreston Tremont’s private office was thick with tension. Late afternoon light filtered through the tall, floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows across the sleek mahogany desk and the scattered documents covering it. Cassienne Rhodes sat comfortably on the soft leather sofa in the corner, slowly sipping from the fresh fruit juice Dreston had personally prepared for her earlier. The cool, sweet taste of mango and orange helped settle her nerves, but it did little to ease the heavy weight pressing on her chest as she watched her husband work. Dreston stood behind his desk, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, eyes sharp and focused as he and Steve reviewed the latest leads. Papers, photographs, and encrypted reports lay spread out before them. The quiet hum of the city far below the high-rise windows only emphasized how isolated and serious this moment felt. “Have you contacted the investigators?” Dreston’s voice broke the silence. “Not yet, but I’m on

  • When Love Finds Its Way Back    Chapter Three Hundred And Forty-Nine: Are You Really Doing This Because Of My Father?

    Richardson vineyard has always been known for its beauty and peaceful nature. However, tonight seemed different. The vineyard itself stretched across acres of land. During the day, tourists often visited to admire the beautiful scenery, sample expensive wines, and enjoy the reputation the Richardson family had built over generations. Tonight, however, there was nothing beautiful about it. Inside one of the private buildings hidden deeper within the estate, Garry Richardson sat on a large leather sofa with a dark expression on his face. Across from him, his uncle paced endlessly around the room. Donatus Richardson was a tall man despite his age. At sixty-seven, his shoulders remained broad and his posture remained straight. His silver hair was neatly combed back, and his expensive suit made him look more like a respected businessman than a man secretly plotting crimes. But Garry knew better, because he had spent enough years around his uncle to understand that appearances could b

  • When Love Finds Its Way Back    Chapter Three Hundred And Forty-Eight: Old Wounds

    Jessica finally reached home close to midnight, yet the Tremont mansion was still brightly lit. Nobody had gone to bed. Not after what happened at the gala. The moment she entered the house, she found almost everyone gathered inside the family drawing room. The atmosphere was far from relaxed. Jessica sat between Abigail and carefully narrated everything that had happened at the gala. She spoke about the awards, the celebration, the sudden panic, and finally the conversation she overheard inside the ladies' room. The room fell silent with every word. By the time she finished, no one was able to say a single word. They just sat there still. But Joseph slowly stood from his seat, and he began pacing. The large drawing room suddenly felt smaller than usual. His mind was working furiously. For weeks now, things have been happening one after another. Tina. The fake engagement. The attacks. The threats. The hidden enemy. And now a kidnapping plot. The problem was that none of it made

  • When Love Finds Its Way Back    Chapter Three Hundred And Forty-Seven : Found A Lead

    Cassienne kept her silence until the massive iron gates of the Tremont mansion swung open. For most of the drive, she had simply sat beside Dreston, her hand resting quietly in his while the blurred geometry of city lights swept past the windows. Neither of them had truly managed to leave the gala behind. The image of Jessica’s pale, frightened face lingered vividly in Cassienne's mind, alongside the chilling words her friend had overheard. Someone wanted to take her. Even now, the realization felt entirely surreal. The moment the SUV came to a halt, a small contingent of security personnel moved smoothly into their defensive perimeters. Dreston and Cassienne both noticed the heightened vigilance, but neither commented. The threat was tangible now; there was no point in pretending otherwise. They entered the mansion together, greeted immediately by the familiar warmth of home. Normally, crossing this threshold brought instant relief, but tonight it only blunted the edges of her

  • When Love Finds Its Way Back    Chapter Three Hundred And Forty-Six: They Planned This Meticulously

    Not far away, Corren Thornwyck stood with Aurora Stephen. Unlike the hurried crowd filtering out of the gala, neither felt any rush to leave. Aurora glanced toward the hotel entrance, the heavy residue of the evening's tension still hanging between them. The shift had been jarringly fast—one moment they were celebrating, and the next, they were speaking of criminals. When Corren opened her car door, Aurora offered a faint, amused smile. "You don't have to escort me like I'm fragile." "I know," he replied simply. "Then why are you doing it?" Corren considered her question for a beat before answering with honesty. "Because I want to." A sudden warmth bloomed in Aurora's chest. She fought to keep her expression neutral, but Corren caught the subtle shift anyway. Shaking her head, Aurora stepped closer to him. "You're becoming dangerous these days.” Amusement flashed in his eyes. "How so?" "You keep saying things that leave me with absolutely no counter-argument." "That sounds

  • When Love Finds Its Way Back    Chapter Three Hundred And Forty-Five: You Did The Right Thing

    The gala ended abruptly for those who knew the truth. While the rest of the guests continued to mingle in blissful ignorance, a criminal had been mingling among them, standing only paces away from Cassienne. For Dreston, the evening was effectively over. The moment Jessica revealed the overheard conversation, his priorities instantly shifted to a single task: getting his loved ones safely out of the hotel. Outside, security presence quietly intensified, unnoticed by the crowd. Bodyguards shifted positions, armored vehicles moved into position, and drivers went on high alert as urgent instructions crackled through earpieces. Everything looked entirely normal, yet the atmosphere had fundamentally changed. Cassienne sat in the back of an armored SUV, finding herself physically alone for the first time since fleeing the ballroom. Her mind raced, replaying the gala, Jessica's warning, Tina's betrayal, and the reality of the kidnapping plot. The sheer terror of the situation only fully re
